TUBESOURCE TESTED™

NAI is proud to offer TubeSource Tested™, our unique line of pre-owned X-Ray tubes, CT tubes and Image Intensifiers that are performance verified to meet OEM and FDA specifications. TubeSource Tested™ products come complete with a minimum 6 month warranty and cost up to 80% less than OEM list.

WHAT IS IT?

TubeSource Tested™ is a new product offering from North American Imaging like no other. TubeSource Tested products feature pre-owned X-Ray Tubes, CT Tubes and Image Intensifiers. Each product we sell is of superior quality and has a significantly longer warranty than other pre-owned glassware on the market today.

WHY ARE WE DOING IT?

Until today your choices for reliable pre-owned glassware was limited at best. No manufacturer had made the commitment to back their products with testing and warranties to ensure you could have confidence that the glassware would work at the level you’ve come to know and expect. With the NAI brand name standing behind these products you now have a credible source for Tested Glassware.

WARRANTY

All TubeSource Tested products have a minimum six month pro-rated warranty. And the first 30 days are offered with a full warranty! No other company today is as confident in their products and willing to stand behind them as we are.

WHO SHOULD CONSIDER TUBESOURCE TESTED™?

ISO’s and Insurance companies who have X-Ray and CT under contract Equipment Refurbishers

Hospitals that need to keep a room operational for a short period of time or have limited budgets

Doctors maintaining their own facility
